No-one can keep up with all the vegan videos and podcasts that are coming out!

I’d love to be able to download a regular sample of vegan content – like the “Best of the Left” podcast, or BBC Radio 4’s “Pick of the Week”. It would gives everyone even remotely interested in vegan stuff a taste of what they might be missing.

I don’t currently have time for another project. But in the hope that someone else will like this idea and run with it, I’m summing up the six things that would, I hope, make this work. Interested? Please say in the comments.

1. Varied

Something with short clips (no longer than five minutes) from different (say three) sources, without going back to the same source too often. (By “source”, I mean a YouTube channel or particular podcast.)

This is now the parent brand for my productions, and houses an occasional blog about vegan media.

My podcasting has moved to The Vegan Option, where I investigate interesting science and stories from vegan perspectives; it's been nominated for the VegFestUK media award and includes the first ever joint interview with the UK's 3 vegan MPs; my current project is a crowdfunded series charting the history of vegetarianism.

See the list of episodes below.

In 2008-9, VerdantReports.org was a place for "internet radio without waffle on life without hurting animals". I made four short audio reports on vegan diet and travel; these will stay here (and are listed below too).
